Year Property taxes percent change
2024 --
2023 +81.2%
2022 --
2021 --
2020 +11.4%

Can an economist explain why property tax nearly doubled in last 4 years? Here is a redacted copy of mine showing percent changes. NO actual improvements to property, and 81.2% increase. No additional social services etc offered.

Many, many, many low income working class Americans got wrecked in last four years. Imagine being on a fixed income and 81% hike in one year

I'm convinced that God put a group of people on this earth to oppose everything good and sensible at any point in time. There is a 99% chance that Democrats and Libs are now going to bend over backwards to push the benefits of flouride and food preservatives and crusade against locally-sourced food.


where have you been, they already do

George Soros truly the biggest loser of the election. What did Tim Walz put into this race, a couple months of his time he could have spent derping around in the governor's mansion?
We don't get to see real financials until almost a year after the election so sometime next year we'll be able to dig up just how many hundreds of millions / billion were funneled through smurf donors by billionaires

Maybe they shouldn't have fraudently covered up the fact that Biden has Parkinson's until 4 months before

They ran him through the "primary" knowing this.

It was the single most undemocratic thing the democratic party has done since the Jim Crow era ended, and these are the guys that threw a black man in prison on charges of sedition for organizing a political protest.
Its entirely the onus of the party and electorate to decide which candidate to run. The time to choose between Biden and Kamala was during the primaries. The only excuse for changing after the primary would be if Joe was incapable of running, perfectly forgivable reason if he was dead or incapacitated. And instead they wanted to have their cake and eat it too, insisting Joe is competent and capable but simultaneously yeeting him off the ticket and replacing him with a DEI hire. Disenfranchising the millions of people who voted in the primaries. We complained in 2016 that the DNC rigged the primary by putting their thumb on the scale for Hillary- letting her puppeteer the party apparatus- but here they didn't bother with pretense. Just shoved shit on voter's plates and told them to eat up

Rising demand causing higher prices for homes. Inflation increasing costs of services. Local government trying to balance their budget.

Incumbent parties worldwide have been losing regardless of their party due to the economy / inflation. I.e. Conservatives in power in the United Kingdom were heavily voted out, with primary reasons being inflation and the state of the economy.

Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act, about $900bn and with added 87k more IRS government employees to payroll. Yet it rises and rises.
